AS PICTURED BY THE COURIER-JOURNAL [Photo] MRS. HAZEL BROWN WILLIAMS The above is the likeness of Mrs. Hazel Brown Williams, instructor at Louisville Municipal College, as it appeared in The Louisville Courier-Journal Friday morning. Mrs. Williams is one of the finest and most popular young women to come to Louisville as a member of its educational system. About Mrs. Williams the article in the Courier said as follows: "A much travelled young woman is Hazel Brown Williams, German instructor at Louisville's Municipal College for Negroes. Before taking her present job, Mrs. Williams spent about a year and a half in Europe, one year as a student at Berlin University. She also visited the Universities of Heidelberg and Bonn, and traveled in Italy, Czecho-Slovakia France and England. Students may major in German at the college and a two-year course is compulsory, so the young instructor's time is well occupied. As to her qualifications, Arthur Mueller, German vice consul here, say s Mrs. Williams "speaks a purer German than I do." And he is so enthusiastic over her knowledge of German literature and tradition that he has given her several old calf-bound volumes of Goethe and Schiller from his library. Mrs. Williams, who claims she'd rather travel than eat, hopes to study in Switzerland the next chance she gets. She is not sure when that will be, because her last trip, made four years ago, was undertaken on a scholarship grant. Travel in Europe is [easier? for the [Negro?] than in this country, because of an absence of restrictions which makes it possible for him to "go everywhere and see everything," she said. Mrs. Williams has more girls in her German classes than boys, (Continued on page 8)
RACE CONFLICTS ROOT OF WAR, SAYS GEORGE E. HAYNES San Francisco. Dec. 8--"So long as the dominant race denies the basic rights to the weaker racial minorities so long will there be wars and rumors of war," stated Dr. George E. Haynes, Executive Secretary, Department of Race Relations of the Federal Council of churches, in addressing the International Goodwill Congress during the sessions at the Palace Hotel here. Dr. Haynes cited some of the imperialistic practices of conquest by force, the opinions of scholars in the biological and psychological fields on the question of racial differences and the fallacy of the theory of racial superiority. He discussed the fallacy of the belief of might and power over weaker peoples and traced the events which caused the doctrine of white superiority to intensify race conflict now facing the modern age. "In India, British and India leaders are almost deadlocked," continued Dr. Haynes. "South Africa is seething with conflict between black and brown Natives and white Europeans. In northeast Africa, Italians are holding conquered Ethiopian lands against guerilla warfare while their Grand Council has issued an edict against marriage between Italians and Semitic and other so-called 'non-Aryan' races. The Japanese onslaughts in China are an application of western power (Continued on page 8)
